Victoria Red Rhubarb Plant - Perennial - 4" pot

Besides delicious rhubarb pies, rhubarb also makes an excellent desert, and particularly in summer, when its refreshingly delicious flavour is most appreciated. Rhubarb is also an extremely hardy plant - one could say small shrub - which lasts for decades, with hardly any care at all. Harvesting outweighs care by a factor of about 10 to 1. This is a standard crop variety of Rhubarb. One of the largest and most productive varieties. The stalks are a deep crimson red with a touch of green on the inside. The taste has a bit of a wine flavor to it. First recorded in 1837 in England
